In a recent interview with the hosts of the “Vlad TV” podcast, Hall of Fame Boston Celtics alum Dominique Wilkins discussed his basketball journey from college to the NBA. The Human Highlight Reel recounted his decision to leave college after his junior year to enter the NBA draft, and his experience at the 1982 NBA draft, where he was selected by the Utah Jazz.
‘Nique explains how his desire to play for the Atlanta Hawks due to his ties with the city and wish to play small forward made his stay in Utah a short one, the future Boston wing getting himself dealt even before the start of his rookie season.
To hear the tale in full from the man himself, take a look at the clip embedded above for the full story of how Wilkins ended up in Atlanta and more.
